YONKERS, NY — December 2, 2014 — The Saint Pio Foundation has announced that a biographical film on the life of Saint Padre Pio is in the works. The film will be produced by American Actor Joe Mantegna and his long time producing Partner Danny Ramm through their company Acquaviva Productions, for theatrical release. Shot in English, filmed on location in Italy (including San Giovanni Rotondo, where Padre Pio lived), and distributed worldwide, the film will highlight Padre Pio’s impact on the Catholic Church and the building of his hospital, Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza in San Giovanni Rotondo, Puglia, Italy. A percentage of the proceeds from the film will benefit the Saint Pio Foundation and help further its work to establish medical facilities in the United States of America, in the charism of Saint (Padre) Pio, in order to offer medical care to those poor in need.
